Solution for (0.1x-0.3)(0.4x-20)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(0.1x + -0.3)(0.4x + -20) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-0.3 + 0.1x)(0.4x + -20) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-0.3 + 0.1x)(-20 + 0.4x) = 0

Multiply (-0.3 + 0.1x) * (-20 + 0.4x)
(-0.3(-20 + 0.4x) + 0.1x * (-20 + 0.4x)) = 0
((-20 * -0.3 + 0.4x * -0.3) + 0.1x * (-20 + 0.4x)) = 0
((6 + -0.12x) + 0.1x * (-20 + 0.4x)) = 0
(6 + -0.12x + (-20 * 0.1x + 0.4x * 0.1x)) = 0
(6 + -0.12x + (-2x + 0.04x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -0.12x + -2x = -2.12x
(6 + -2.12x + 0.04x2) = 0

Solving
6 + -2.12x + 0.04x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
0.04 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '0.04'.
150 + -53x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-150' to each side of the equation.
150 + -53x + -150 + x2 = 0 + -150

Reorder the terms:
150 + -150 + -53x + x2 = 0 + -150

Combine like terms: 150 + -150 = 0
0 + -53x + x2 = 0 + -150
-53x + x2 = 0 + -150

Combine like terms: 0 + -150 = -150
-53x + x2 = -150

The x term is -53x.  Take half its coefficient (-26.5).
Square it (702.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '702.25' to each side of the equation.
-53x + 702.25 + x2 = -150 + 702.25

Reorder the terms:
702.25 + -53x + x2 = -150 + 702.25

Combine like terms: -150 + 702.25 = 552.25
702.25 + -53x + x2 = 552.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -26.5)(x + -26.5) = 552.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 23.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -26.5) equal to 23.5 and -23.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -26.5 = 23.5 Simplifying x + -26.5 = 23.5 Reorder the terms: -26.5 + x = 23.5 Solving -26.5 + x = 23.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '26.5' to each side of the equation. -26.5 + 26.5 + x = 23.5 + 26.5 Combine like terms: -26.5 + 26.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 23.5 + 26.5 x = 23.5 + 26.5 Combine like terms: 23.5 + 26.5 = 50 x = 50 Simplifying x = 50

Subproblem 2

x + -26.5 = -23.5 Simplifying x + -26.5 = -23.5 Reorder the terms: -26.5 + x = -23.5 Solving -26.5 + x = -23.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '26.5' to each side of the equation. -26.5 + 26.5 + x = -23.5 + 26.5 Combine like terms: -26.5 + 26.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -23.5 + 26.5 x = -23.5 + 26.5 Combine like terms: -23.5 + 26.5 = 3 x = 3 Simplifying x = 3

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {50, 3}
